I have lived in most major cities in canada due to work and currently residing in Vancouver. The last time I lived here was in the late 80's and the city was quiet, less people, cars, immigrants and so on
. Since I moved here I have noticed there are alot of angry drivers just like you see in Toronto. The worst things they do is continuously HONK their horn.....I mean why can't they just honk twice
. Then there are cell phone drivers and thats an other story. I can go on and on but if you are one of those ignorant bad drivers...GET A LIFE and RELAX and lets be Canadians just like Calgarians a city where is almost perfect and a true Canadian city. I am originally from Saskatoon but I don't call that a city

I grew up in New Westminster, and have been a driver for over 50 years. I am a good driver. I love driving, I appreciate the priviledge of being able to drive, and I feel sad
and sorry for all the stressed out, impatient, inconsiderate drivers out there, and there
are many of them. What has happened to people behind the wheel, and just 'who do they
think they are', driving onto our public roads and riding our bumpers, flicking their lights,
honking, hollering, speeding, and just downright making our lives miserable, just because
they are driving, and really 'not worthy' of having a licence.
I am not a slow driver, but I am a patient one, when I see others who slow me down, or
just take too long to make decisions, and drive with 'fear' of what will happen, I always
make a point of looking at the driver, and it is usually someone 'elderly', and yes, quite a
few women are too cautious, BUT it is their road too, and I don't want to force them to drive in a way that would be dangerous for them, and put them out of their comfort zone.
It doesn't bother me to wait for others who need more time to do 'what they have to do' on the road, it's OK, I will probably be at least one minute later than I wanted, so what.
I've had many aggressive, fast drivers take 'big' chances to get ahead of everyone, and watch them disappear off in the distance, only to drive up beside them at the next light,
HELLO!!!!!, (DUMBHEAD).
